(boing!) Cnoocy Mosque O'Witz

I have a post up today at my company's tech blog about using OpenSCAD to create 3d objects, specifically a plane-based d20:

So, there's a podcast, Coverville, that plays cover songs. I've been listening to it for a number of years, and it's a pretty popular podcast. In a couple of weeks, they're doing a 24-hour coverthon, a half-fundraiser/half-benefit. They're offering hourly sponsorships, which give the sponsor the chance to have their business mentioned multiple times in the hour, and have a logo up on the stream.

My crazy idea is to have one of these hours be sponsored by the letter R and the number 7, as if it were an episode of Sesame Street. We'll be essentially anonymous to the show's listeners.

It'll cost some money (the total for a sponsorship is $150), but I can put up a lot of it, and I have at least one co-conspirator.

Anyway, let me know, by comment, email, or private message, if you want to be part of this. Or if you have any questions.

An Act establishing the number six as the official number of the commonwealth.

I suspect that Bert has something to do with this.

Last year I posted some music I had generated by factoring integers. I've been thinking about it off and on since then and last night I got something that I liked.
1.1K MIDI 336K MP3 (Both are 14 seconds long)

I'd love to hear what you think!

ETA: I should mention that most of my changes amount to "do what mrmorse told me to."

So last night I posted some music. If you want to try to figure out what it is, read that post, not this one.

Question:
If the popular version of Moore's law (computing speed increases by a factor of 2 every 18 months) were to apply continuously,(which it doesn't) at what point does a process become not worth hitting start on.

That is, if I have a program that takes 80 years to run, I shouldn't start it now. I can get it done in 23 years by waiting 3 years, at which point the program will only take 20 years. So at what point (expressed as current time to completion) should I hit start?

I have an answer, but I'd like someone to check my math. So if you're interested in trying it yourself, do so before clicking on the cut-tag.
